Gellar had already seen the show but wanted to catch Tortured Poets live for the first time
Sarah Michelle Gellar is a certified Swiftie. During an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress shared that she asked for a day off work to see Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour.
While promoting Dexter: Original Sin alongside her co-star Christian Slater, Gellar shared that she had just been in Miami to see one of the final shows of the Eras Tour in October, calling Swift’s performance “incredible.”
“He knew it was the only thing I cared about at work,” she said, referring to Slater. “I’m like, I just need to get a Friday off.” Gellar added that her job wondered if she needed the day off to take care of her kids.
“Well, I’m going to Miami to see the Eras Tour,” she recalled saying at the time. “I saw it in L.A., but she didn’t do Tortured Poets Department. So, I wanted to go see Tortured Poets, and I got to see Florence Welch.”

Gellar had gone to see Swift in August 2023 earlier in the Eras Tour, before she dropped TTPD. At the time, Gellar shared photos of herself with Seth Green. “Officially in my Eras Era,” she wrote on Instagram, showing off her friendship bracelets for the tour.
Swift officially wrapped her 149-date trek earlier this month, making $2 billion in ticket sales and garnering an audience of 10 million over the course of the tour. She concluded the run with a show in Vancouver on Dec. 9. Addressing the crowd, Swift said, “We have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”
